    All I can say is Joe Woods has NO EXCUSES this year! He better let the DAWGS out with the type of talent emassed on this defense.. Otherwise he's just under utilizing it.

  • I predict Baker throws a TD pass and points/gestures to our sideline.

    And in turn Myles puts a big strip sack on him and offers a hand up with a subtle grin and "Welcome home Baker."?

  • I predict the game thread, and multiple threads after the game, will be especially spicy. ?

    I'll be 3 hours away in the wilds of northwestern Pennsylvania that weekend, so you mods can breathe easily. ?

    But I fully expect the Panthers to pull one out. Hope I'm wrong.

    My first wife used to do stupid $hit like that.   

    My forever keeper wife modifies our social calendar around the Browns and Giants. 

    It’s the little things that matter.

    Agree here 100% and said the same a few days ago.  We can’t start slowly this year.   You got Mayfield, Flacco, Mariota, Trubisky the first four weeks…and each have their own support issues on those respective teams….you have to feast.

    It hasn’t been announced and Trubisky was said to have the inside track on the spot.   Either way or either one. 

  • With the current state of the Steelers Oline, I find it hard to believe their coaches will walk their 1st round rookie out to the wolves.

    Absolutely!  In order to have any hope at all for the season we've gotta win the first 4 games.  Sadly, I don't hold much hope for this season.  We have a QB room full of backup QB's.  And when Watson is eligible to return he will be quite far from NFL Football - Ready.   Especially in the AFC, you can only go as far as your QB can take you.  But hey, the season ain't even started yet...crazy things have happened before.  We know that, as we're usually the team on the other end of the craziness.

    The Browns defense was, if I recall, made up of a lot of new faces to start the season last year. I think 4 or 5 starters were new guys, at least. 

    I'm hoping that is the reason the defense started slowly last year. 

  • Watching Panthers Bills.  Carolina 1s vs mix of Bills 1s mainly 2s.  Carolina can’t move anyone and run the ball- no surprise.  Tremble looks like a nice weapon at TE

    Same.. Rough 3rd Quarter in Carolina..

    1>PK/K Shane Gonzalez pulls groin practice kicking into net on sidelines before FG attempt..  

    2> Backup QB Sam Darnold badly rolled ankle under tackler (Smithy thinks 4 weeks?) PJ Walker Panthers QB2..(A cut Rosen might get call to talk shop)

    3> DT Derrick Brown played well.. Out with Oblique..

    Final Panthers 21   Bills 0..(played 2/3's)

    I thought the Panthers played first teamers way too long.

    Besides McCaff obviously…we need to keep an eye on Tremble.   He looks capable and physical he will be Bakers safety net early 
     

  • Looks like Baker found his strike zone again!...

  • Browns lose a close game.

    Mostly because we don't get our team in playing shape for the first game of the season.

     Even counting the horse-abortion and injury riddled games of the Chargers and Cardinals, the Browns were 13th in scoring defense at 21.8pgg. If you remove extreme high and low from the schedule, the Browns settle around 19ppg, which would have made them good for inside the top 8.      

     If this defense starts slow, it'll be because teams are being patient enough to exploit their primary weakness.

  • 27-13 Browns, just because.

    Well according to some you would not want to share some fine wine with hoorta and me. But according to us it would be an "educational experience" in understanding the nuance of a fine red wine. Here's a hint. Start with a Napa Cabernet from Californicate called Honig (just about any year will do just fine, but the older the better)) and have it with a medium rare prime steak of your choosing. Let the wine breath some before drinking or put it through an aerator directly into each glass if it's a recent vintage. Sip it nice and slow as the more it breaths in the glass the better it gets on the palate. Enjoy!????
